Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1996 - 1969: Zhang Yue Appears

Releasing another slow breath from his mouth, Qiu Zhengfeng chuckled bitterly before speaking: "Mr. Lu, I apologize. I got a bit flustered earlier because of Tian Rui and misunderstood you. I hope you don’t take it to heart."

After hearing Qiu Zhengfeng’s words, Lu Tianxing lightly smiled and said: "Elder Qiu, you’re too polite. Do I seem like someone with a small mind? I won’t dwell on this matter."

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Zhengfeng gently nodded: "Mr. Lu, are you really clueless about who the mastermind behind the attack on Tian Rui is, or which power they belong to?"

While speaking, Qiu Zhengfeng’s gaze fell on Lu Tianxing, watching his every move carefully. His intuition told him that Lu Tianxing surely knew something.

"I’m not very clear on this."

Sensing Qiu Zhengfeng’s gaze on him, Lu Tianxing gently shook his head and said: "The opponent sent out Death Soldiers, making it impossible to extract any information from him. However, those capable of such a move and wanting me dead are no other than the Tang Family, the Yang Family, or the Heavenly God. But the Heavenly God is the least suspicious; if he truly wanted to deal with me, he would’ve acted when I was in Japan, since it’s his territory. Yet, the Heavenly God never acted against me, which clearly shows that this plot wasn’t secretly orchestrated by the Heavenly God."

"So, Mr. Lu, you’re saying that those who acted against my grandson are either the Tang Family or the Yang Family?" Qiu Zhengfeng’s eyes glimmered with a cold light as he said with a chilly voice.

"It’s most likely them."

Lu Tianxing nodded and said: "But to know for sure if it is indeed them, we’ll have to wait and see what the investigation reveals."

"Alright, I understand."

Qiu Zhengfeng nodded, looking at Lu Tianxing and said: "Mr. Lu, thank you for sending Tian Rui to the hospital. You must have other matters to attend to, right? Why not go ahead and take care of them? Leave this to me and Ying Rong."

After hearing Qiu Zhengfeng’s words, Lu Tianxing pondered for a moment and said: "Elder Qiu, I’ll stay here for now. Let’s see Young Master Qiu through this critical period first. In case anything happens during this time, it might be good for me to be here as a backup."

...

Meanwhile, in a private club on Qin Island, the young master from Beijing, Wu Shaochang, who had instigated Wei Xu to target Lu Tianxing on the Tianbao, was standing there respectfully. Sitting on the sofa in front of Wu Shaochang was a person wearing a pitch-black mask. The mask covered the entire face, making it impossible to see any expression, but her figure was alluring, with perfect curves. However, at this moment, a strong chill emanated from her, deterring others from approaching.

Wu Shaochang stood there with his head lowered, without daring to cast a glance at her, as if the person in front wasn’t a human, but a snake. It’s not that Wu Shaochang had no interest in women, but he knew how ruthless this woman was. After all, Wei Xu was killed by someone she sent, and even the assassination attempt on Qiu Tianrui was secretly orchestrated by her.

"Young Master Wu, is Qiu Tianrui dead or not?" As time ticked by, and after an unknown length of silence, the woman sitting on the sofa suddenly spoke slowly.

"No."

Upon hearing the woman’s words, Wu Shaochang said: "We just got word from the hospital that Qiu Tianrui was saved by Lu Tianxing. However, Tianrui’s injuries are severe, and he is still in critical condition."

At this point, Wu Shaochang hesitated and asked, "Should I send someone to the hospital to kill Tianrui, to eliminate any future threat, and ensure that this matter is handled thoroughly?"

"If you send someone now, do you think they won’t be walking to their death?"

The masked woman glanced at Wu Shaochang, her voice frosty: "Qiu Tianrui is Qiu Zhengfeng’s only grandson. Do you think that with his grandson’s life hanging in the balance, Qiu Zhengfeng wouldn’t arrange experts to protect Tianrui? Moreover, don’t forget about Lu Tianxing. If you send people over, do you think they could even get close to Qiu Tianrui?"

"Then we...?"

Wu Shaochang instinctively started to speak upon hearing the masked woman’s words, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by her: "I’ll handle the matters ahead. There’s no need for you. You can go back for now. I’ll call you when I need you."

"Yes!"

Wu Shaochang nodded, not saying another word, turned, and left.

"Tang Da."

After Wu Shaochang left, the masked woman called softly into the empty space.

With the woman’s voice, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of her, none other than Tang Qingyun’s personal bodyguard.

"Miss Zhang, what can I do for you?"

Hearing the voice, the masked woman slowly removed her mask, revealing a delicate but cold and hateful face. If Lu Tianxing were here, he’d recognize her as none other than Sun Yaoyang’s woman, Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue glanced at Tang Da, her eyes icy as she said: "Tang Da, I need you to arrange for someone to kill Wu Shaochang."

"Kill Wu Shaochang?"

Upon hearing Zhang Yue’s words, Tang Da’s eyebrows furrowed: "Wu Shaochang was specifically assigned by Young Master Tang to assist you. Isn’t it a bit excessive to kill him?"

"Excessive?"

Zhang Yue looked at Tang Da and sneered: "Tang Da, do you want to watch Lu Tianxing continue to grow, kill Tang Qingyun, and annihilate the Tang Family, leaving no survivors? Or do you want to see Lu Tianxing dead? If you want to see him dead, then do as I say and kill Wu Shaochang. Only then will our plan be complete, understand?"

"Those who achieve great things don’t bother with trifles. Sacrificing a useless pawn for a grand victory—do you think we win or lose in this gamble?"

With those words, Zhang Yue’s gaze fell coldly on Tang Da. Her only desire was to avenge Sun Yaoyang; to her, the lives of others were irrelevant. If necessary, she wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice Tang Qingyun.

After hearing Zhang Yue’s mocking words, Tang Da frowned and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure your plan will succeed after killing Wu Shaochang?"

PS: I’m away, will be back tomorrow. Sorry for the late update!!!
